We understand that noticing your engine is overheating why driving can be a scary situation. An overheating engine can quickly leave you stranded, and can end up costing you money in repairs. The best thing you can do is get your vehicle into Eurotech Auto Service at your earliest convenience for an inspection. Getting the issue repaired as quickly as possible can prevent excessive engine damage and save you money in the long run.  Your vehicle's temperature warning light is the most common warning sign of an overheating engine. Your vehicle is letting you know that your engine is running at a temperature that is too high for proper operation. When this happens, it's important to turn your engine off. If the engine continues running at a high temperature, key components can fail, warp, or breakdown.  The most common reason why an engine overheats is low coolant. This is almost always caused by a coolant leak. Low coolant means that heat isn't being properly ... read more

Your vehicle's tires are super important to the overall handling of your vehicle. They help you keep control and steer where you want to go while making traction with the road to get the proper grip. When your tire's tread wears down, it puts you at more risk of hydroplaning and being able to accurately steer your vehicle. They are the only thing between you and the street - you definitely want them to be in their best condition!  How can you check your tire tread at home, and when do you know if its time to get new tires?  A great way that anyone can check on their tire tread at home is by using the penny test. All you need is a penny (go figure)! You'll want to repeat this test at least once a month. Here's how to do it: Place a penny down into the tread of your tire headfirst. You'll want to test several different treads across the tire.   If you can still see the very top of Lincoln’s head, your tread is way too worn out. In t ... read more

  While European vehicles are known for being more complex and intricate, the cooling system is typically a tricky system to repair when it comes to European made cars. The cooling system is an important one because it helps to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent it from overheating. In European model vehicles, the cooling system is typically tucked into a hard to find area or tight among other components. This makes it more difficult to actually take apart and repair the system.  Additionally, many European vehicles have a remote reservoir to fill up the cooling system and the radiator is usually tucked behind the front grill of the chassis. This can make replacing or filling coolant tricky and more time consuming. This is referred to as a closed cooling system, whereas Asian and Domestic vehicles typically use a conventional cooling system.  A closed cooling system has a hidden radiator, which can make flushing coolant tricky. Typically, a tool calle ... read more

  In order to understand what an oxygen sensor replacement is, it is important to understand what exactly the oxygen sensor does and why it is important.  What is the job of your vehicle's oxygen sensor? The main purpose of a vehicle's oxygen sensor is to better manage the engine's operation. Some vehicles actually have more than one. One sensor is usually connected to the exhaust pipe and is used to measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system. Whether the gas measured is high in oxygen content or low, the amount of fuel that enters the engine is adjusted by your vehicle's computer system to maintain the correct mixture of fuel and oxygen to control emissions output. The sensor connected to the catalytic converter will measure the oxygen content of the gases that leave the catalytic converter.  Why is the oxygen sensor important? The oxygen sensors are important to ensure that your vehicle meets emissions s ... read more

Buying a used car is a great way to get a quality vehicle without spending too much money. If you've been saving for a used car and have finally found the one, you want to be sure that the vehicle is in good condition or at least in the condition that the seller has claimed. Too often we have seen buyers commit to a used vehicle only to have the car breakdown within the first week of driving it. It is hard to see the vehicle's condition from the outside, which is why pre-purchase inspections are so important.  What is a pre-purchase used vehicle inspection?  A pre-purchase inspection is when you bring a used vehicle that you are considering purchasing into our shop for an evaluation. We take a look at the car to determine its health and any repairs that it needs so that you can make an educated decision about buying the car and if the price fits the condition.  Where can I get a pre-purchase vehicle inspection?  You can get a pre-purchase inspection perf ... read more
